ACCELERATE Annual Conference
Shifting Gears in Paediatric Cancer Innovation


What was on the Agenda?
To cure more children and adolescents with cancer, we need to rethink how innovation reaches them.
The ACCELERATE Annual Conference 2026 focused on the "The Dual Engine Approach":
- accelerating the smart development and use of adult cancer innovations in paediatrics, and
- building paediatric-first development pathways to incentivize the development of specific paediatric oncology drugs
Over two days we worked together to acknowledge today's reality, call for a shift, challenge the system and drive action.
